A total of 4,329 households nationwide will be faced with finding new accommodation in an extremely constricted market or becoming homeless, new figures released by the Residential Tenancies Board show.
The shocking figure is the number of Notices to Termination landlords issued to tenants from October to the end of December last year. The eviction notices all became active when the Government lifted the ban on evictions on the last day of March.
In three months before this period, there were 4,741 Notices of Termination issued which all became active at the start of March as well. That means there are 9,070 households that will become homeless unless they can find new accommodation.
